One of my friends kept nagging me to join the Pak Soc and I did eventually. I didn't really see a point tbh, just puts you in a very haram environment. And most events which they planned included dancers + music to fundraise. I didn't fit in too lol

Yeah sorry I didn't mean it in that way, I know brothers have issues too, the video I posted was aimed at both genders, if you have time, watch it

But you're a guy.

Walaykum asalaam.

You okay?
How did that lecture go? Or I am asking the wrong person? I'm confused.

I wouldn't take part in making them IRL purely because at some point or another, official soc events will take place which may be accepted by Pakistani culture/society but not by Islam. You might not have a direct hand in creating such events but you'd have had a hand in facilitating a platform on which you knew they would take place. I helped make something like this before and I didn't think it through before starting, eventually came to regret my participation.

I don't know about the nationalism aspect. You should ask a scholar.

Too late

I feel as a shia muslim, i am best placed to answer this. Someone else may not give a fair account here.

The answer would be yes, and no at the same time.

While it is one of our main books, and one of four key canonical works, we do not call it 'saheeh al kafi'. Therefore, one must be very careful when reading it, and each and every ahadith must be tested through ilm al rijal - the science of hadith, and narrators, to ascertain the reliability.

JazakAllah Khair, this has made it more clear to me now and I understand what to say regarding the issue

Is this for a fact? I watched a video where they said that of course you are allowed to show the head without the hijab before marriage and that some sahaba wanted to see even more

That is terrible! I don't know much about Guinea so I looked it up. It has one of the biggest mosques in Africa paid for by Saudi Arabia but one of the lowest literacy rates in the world. That money should have been spent on schools and teachers. There are more important things that making a big show about worshipping Allah. We praise him better by helping children read.

Building a big mosque doesn't mean that someone is making a big show about worshipping Allah. Gaining secular education is not the equivalent to praising Allah either.

BarakAllahu feek.
This is interesting, so why must you make individual research to ensure the narration is saheeh?
And also how does it work for you guys like do you take narrations from the sahabah etc..? I'm assuming no, in which case who?
